World Health Day and Earth Day
|
April brings two special days for those of us into Healthy Foods and Recipes.
World Health Day, April 7th, is sponsored by the The World Health Organization and the theme this year is high blood pressure or hypertension. One in three adults worldwide has high blood pressure. We can reduce our risk of this disease by reducing our salt intake; eating a balanced diet; avoiding excessive use of alcohol; taking regular physical activity; maintaining a healthy body weight; and avoiding tobacco use. You need look no further than our Ethnic Recipes, such as African, Chinese, Indian, Indonesian, Lebanese, and Moroccan, to name a few, for healthy recipes.
Earth Day, celebrated in more than 175 countries every year, is April 22nd and is an appreciation of the earth's natural environment. There are many events and activities around the world on this day. Commit to protect the environment. Let's concentrate on fruits and vegetables that grow from the ground and recipes that are "kind to the earth." Truffle Trees Adopt a Truffle Tree and Nudo's Adopt an Olive Tree are two programs that encourage tree planting. Plant a tree, read a book about trees and take a nature hike and enjoy the outdoors.
